Jefferson’s Bourbon and Rye Whiskey Tasting

Celebrate National Bourbon Day with samples of Jefferson’s Whiskies!

Jefferson’s Very Small Batch Bourbon
Jefferson’s Bourbon is made in very small batches. Actually, ridiculously small batches. We take up to four different Kentucky straight bourbon whiskies of different ages and marry them together. Doing this, we get a lot of complexity and balance while maintaining the consistency needed in a bourbon (one of the blends comprising of at least 55% of the total). We wanted to make it big enough for the connoisseur, yet approachable for people just getting into the premium bourbon field.

Jefferson’s Reserve Bourbon
Jefferson’s Reserve is a big, sophisticated bourbon that has a lot of flavor up front, a lot of weight mid palate and a deep, wonderful finish.

Jefferson’s Ocean Rye
Welcome aboard rye’s first voyage, joining our Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea® family as our 26th voyage. This double-barreled rye whiskey travels the world on ships at sea, blending the bold flavor of Rye with the rich caramelization that comes from the unique sea aging process.

Jefferson’s Ocean Bourbon
A thick, dark bourbon that showcases complex flavors reminiscent of other spirits; the almost black color and caramel flavors resemble a dark rum as the sugars within the barrels caramelized; the briny, savory taste from the barrels breathing the sea air is reminiscent of Islay Scotch; and at its core, it’s a true bourbon.

Jefferson’s Prichard Hill Bourbon
To make our Jefferson’s Reserve Pritchard Hill Cabernet Finish, we start with our Jefferson’s Reserve Kentucky straight bourbon and extra age it for 12 months in French Oak casks that once held Pritchard Hill® Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine barrels that matured the most sought-after wine in the Chappellet® portfolio lend a sweetness to the bourbon by adding notes of dark berry, espresso and chocolate.
